WOMEN IN EDITORIAL CHAIRS.

Many of Them Command High SaIa-
 rfes and Have Attained Distinction.
 New York Letter to the Indianapolis JournaL]
 It would make long list simply to emu merate the names of women who sit in the editorial chairs of magazines. Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge went from a successful literary career to the office of St. Nicholas. Ella Farman Pratt takes an occasional part in making up Wide Awake. Of the fashion periodicals there is no better edited publica- ton of any kind in the country than Har- per's Bazaar, of which Mrs. Mary L. Booth, and in her absence Mrs. s. s. Conant, has full control. Jennie June has a half owner ship in Godey's Lady Book and is supreme in the editorial room. Mme. Demorest has but just retired from the business control of the magazine bearing her name. The widow of Peterson, the Philadelphia publisher, has taken Petefsons Magazine into her own hands, both editorially and financially. The Ladies' World pays the woman at it's head five thousand dollars year, and the new dress reform magazine, Dress, if Mrs. Jen- ness Miller will allow it to be classed with fashion publications, is in part owned and wholly managed by it's editor, who is put ting good deal of fresh talent into it's early issues Mrs. Laura Holloway edits the Home Literary Magazine and the Woman's Argosy, new Chicago ventures, which promise large success Mrs. Josephine Bedding edits two decorative art magazines very ably, and the housekeeping magazines are in swarms. OF & more serious class of publications, Mrs.
 Martha J. Lamb has increased the circula- tion and made the reputation of the Nigga zine of American History, and Miss Jean- nette Glider commands unlimited respect for her work on the Critic. Philanthropic pub
 lications of all sorts are in feminine hands.
 Edward Everett Hele's Lend Hand is large ly directed by woman, and the list, not of women who supply matter for departments, but who are in editorial or business control,

EYES AND EYEGL ASSES.

tacles-The Cigarette Eye.
 From the New York Mail and ExpressI
 A New York Mail and Express reporter watched for five minutes the human tide that swirls through Park row opposite the postofiee and counted seventy.eight per sons with eyeglasses astride their noses. Then he went to an oeulist and said: "Are diseases of the eye on the increase?"
 The oculist adjusted his own glasses looked critically at those of his questioner, and said:
 q think not. When I say that, I don't mean that our business is falling off. On the contrary, it is increasing every year, and will continue to do so as long as people wear ey eglasses because they think it adds to their personal appearance. You have an idea how many there are who do this, and only one who sees cases every day, as I do, can form any estimate of the number of glasses that are disposed of in this way.
 "Young people study and read by dim lamp or gas light, and, of course, the eye becomes somewhat weakened. Then the parents rush off to get pair of spectacles, and oftentimes patronize men who will sell them any kind of glass, no matter how well it may suit the case, just to get the money. This careless ness is dangerous and sometime fatal to the organs of sight, which are entirely too sensitive to be trifed with. The greatest enemy to the eyes oi young men is the cigarette. Recently 6 disease has appeared among smokers which is dangerous, and after careful investigation the best authorities, who for long time were at loss to understand the peculiar malady, have traced it to the small paper. covered tobacco sticks. It is now known as the cigarette eye,' and can be cured only by long treatment. Its symptoms are dimness and a flm-like gathering over the eye, which appears and disappears at in- tervals If young men continue to smoke cigarettes excessively, they may expect to be afflicted by this troublesome disease; and it is not relieved by spectacles."

committee on courses of study, who propose l that an additional assistant superintendent
 shall he appointed to take charge of the 1 work The committee state that manual training is admissible into the schools s'only
 as 8 means of general and not of special ed I ucation," and specify as the means of such
 training carpenter work for boys; modelling
 in clay, construction work in paper, paste 1 board, etc., and drawing to scale, for boys
 and girls; and sewing and cooking for girls. This training, they say, should be Gan. essen | tlal part of the authorized course of study for all." All these things should be done in I the regular school buildings, and not in de-
 tached shops. As usual, the committee says that ''the length of school sessions should
 not be extended beyond the present limits" The worst results of liquor drinking, says the Boston Herald, ''are brought about by the use of the cheapest kinds of distilled spirits. The tendency of what is now a specific tax of ninety cents per gallon is to limit the manufacture of these inferior goods since the cheaper the article the proportion ately larger the tax imposed upon it. But if the tax is entirely removed, competition in price will have the effect of flooding our markets with cheap products of the rectifers and redistillers, thus adding yet another curse to the evil of drunkenness. And yet, in spite of the demoralization which is cer- tain to result from this change, we are told by Governor Long that it is by far the bet ter plan to have cheap whiskey than to have cheap blankets, and by Judge Thayer that the removal of the whiskey tax is demanded by every dictate of wise statesmanship and plain common sense"
 The part that comma may play in history was never better illustrated than in the fate of Manchooria. says the St. James Gazette. 'sManehoc ria, according to writer in this months 'Proceedings' of the Royal Geo.
 graphical society, is paradise the bor-
 ders of China Though luxurious and lux
 uriant land, it has, however, for ages been
 considered country of ice and snow, and all
 because it's great mountain is misspelt 'Cha'ng-pai-shan for Chang pai-shan.' The
 latter is it's real name, and means the long
 white mountain'-the white pumice stone
 being referred to. Chang. however, means
 perpetual, and misp lacing the comma, both
 Chinese and European geographers concluded
 that land with perpetual white noun tain must be cold and sterile. So they
 brought the top of the mountain above the
 snow line and gave out to the world that this Garden of Eden was another Iceland. Such it has been held for ages''

DAVIS ON PROHIBITIoN.

Jeff Davis can't keep still. His latest out break is long letter addressed to Bishop Galloway, the chairman of the executive He is, he says, grieved that 'sa dignitary of the Methodist church, South, should have left the pulpit and the Bible to mount the political rostrum and plead the higher law of prohibitionism." He sees in such proceed ings the fererunning shadow of the forbidden union of church and State. He grieves be- cause, disfranchised as he is, he loves the constitution and the liberties it was framed to secure as ardently in old age as he did in youth. He distinguishes between the right of regulating one's own beverages and the privilege, of keeping saloon. He is in favor of local option, under adequate restrictions and safeguards, unless and until it is "insid- iously employed to gain vantage ground for wider operations" And he still further mourns as follows: Fanaticism looks through a reversed telescope, minimizing everything save its special object. What though one should point prohibitionist to the civiliz- ing, harmonizing, peace securing, comfort giving effects of commerce upon the nations; if he thought it iuterfered with his particua lar ism, would he not probably answer by irrelevant catchwords? The time was when sumptuary laws embraced what should be worn and eaten. If we begin the march of retrogression where will it stop? If, as al- ready proposed, there should be Federal laws to enforce the prohibition policy, your recol- lection of war and reconstruction days should enable you to anticipate the doings of an army of spies, informers and deputy mar shals making domieiliary visits to insure the observance of the law. The moral decay which would inevitably result from such a condition needs no portrayal. To me it seems the plain duty of every citizen who loves the liberty our sires bequeathed to us to check this scheme before it acquires dan gerous proportions.
 This mournful letter will probably not have much effect. It certainly hasn't had much upon Bishop Galloway, who when in- terviewed the other day said that he was sorry that MT. Davis had written it-sorry, that is for Mr. Davis' sake. He was no more in favor of union of church and State than MT. Davis himself But if to preach against the open saloon was to be political partisan then he and over three thousand Methodist preachers with him were political partisans. He and his associates had been careful not to let prohibition become entangled with party politics, their organization included citizens of all parties and colors, and the ''prohibi- tion sentiment" was growing steadily and rapidly.
 MT. Davis is sadly behind the times, and even the southerners are getting tired of him. If he would retain any of the esteem in which he has been held he must keep his thoughts more to himself.

RDzTORIAL NOTES.

The British consular service is doing needed work. The Germans are crowding in foreign markets the English manufacturer and merchant. The English consuls are ex- horting their countrymen to get out of the ruts; to adopt more effective measures in studying the wants of the customers they seek, and generally to make themselves &C., quainted with the language and require ments of foreigners. This is good advice for the business men of any country.
 The new dynamite gun would perhaps find tough customer in the Trafalgar, the new British war ship. The Trafalgar displaces about 12, 900 tons of water and is 345 feet long by B broad She will carry four 1311a inch guns and thirty one others of varying dimensions down to three-pounders, and not including machine, boat and field guns, and twenty-four Whitehead torpedoes, and will throw projectiles weighing 1, ,250 pounds each. Her armor is twenty inches thick.
 The famous Pitcairn colony now numbers 107 people, of whom fifty are women. They are happy. contented and religious, us- ing neither tobacco nor liquor. There is no sickness among them and no death has oc- cured in two years. Mccoy and Young, the leaders of the colony, are now very old, but can still sing Moody and Sankey hymns with great vigor. The colonists are the descen- dants of the mutineers of the British ship Bounty which in 178S was sent to Tahiti for bread fruit trees.
 A leading New York jeweller in account of ko in eho oE hr1ci says: Take watches, for instance. The pub- lie is too we'll informed and prudent to make it possible for retailers to charge the fancy profits they used to get on watches. A man l who is going to buy watch goes from store to store pricing the goods, and often display ing more knowledge about the properties that go to make up good watch than the man behind the counter possesses. It won't do to talk about special goods any more. The customers know the different makes and | grades as well as anyone else does.
 Professor Carnelly and MT. Holdane of University college, Dundee, have been in- vestigating the impurities of the air in sew CTS, and find that the quantity of carbonic acid organic matter and micro organism in | sewer air is less than in the air of naturally ventilated school rooms, while the air in mechanically ventilated school rooms is more polluted with organic matter than the
 air of sewers. The sewer air contains a much smaller number of micro organisms than the air of any class of houses and the carbonic acid is less than in the air of small
 houses. The inference is that we have been
 ascribing to sewer gas good deal of the
 trouble that should be charged to posr ven | tilation.

Many of the large publishing houses say that women make the best readers of manuscript, and the same qualities that make feminine talent available. there, together with some tact and business judgment, make good edi- tors of them also. Their periodicals almost invariably are good business properties, and are nicely adjusted to the exact clientage they are meant to reach.

Though the trial of the Andover profess
ors has in measure PASSED out of mind, the
decision of the Board of Visitors is still
awaited with considerable interest. Al
though the trial took place last year, the
Board has as yet given no indication that it
is about to render its decision. One of the
Boston papers, commenting with considera-
BILE impatience on this delay, says: "There
is good deal more at stake at Andover than
whether few professors shall retain their
salaries or not They are all able men and

Prof. George L. Vose, formerly of Bowdoin
College, apropos Of the Bussey bridge dis
aster, writes to the Boston Advertiser letter
which contains statements not calculated
certainly to reassure the railroad travelling
public. 1.-The Bussey bridge" he says, twas
an encyclopaedia of blunders from beginning
to end" Yet the Massachusetts railroad
commissioners inspected it year after year
and pronounced it safe. 1t is clear since the
disaster that their inspection amounted to
very little, for some Of the most important
parts of the bridge were covered up and
were never seen by the commissioners or by
the expert they employed. That is, year af-
ter year they pronounced the bridge all right
without knowing anything at all about the
condition of one of its mostessential parts.
In Massachusetts Prof. Vose says there
are a thousand bridges, half of them OF iron,
and the rest of wood. But the latter really
depend for their strength on iron as much as
the former, inasmuch as their timbers are

The Michigan Prohibitionists think that
the prohibitory amendment would have been
carried but for extensive frauds perpetrated
in Detroit and the counties bordering on
Wisconsin. The vote in large number of
the Detroit precincts is certainly suspicious
lxunanimous, made so, the Prohibitionists
assert, by the election inspectors dropping
ballots in favor of the amendment between
the boxes and thence on the floor. The Pro
hibtionists also charge that a large number
Of men were imported from Wisconsin to
vote against the amendment. The following
facts give color to this claim: Gogebie coun-
ty has been carved out Of Ontonagon county
since the election of year ago. At that
election only 1900 votes were cast in Ontona-
gon county. But at the recent election Go
gebie county returned 1900 majority against
the amendment, or 700 more votes than were
thrown by the whole of Ontonagon county,
in which Gogebie was included, year ago.
The Detroit Prohibitonists have advertised
requesting everyone who voted for the
amendment to report at their headquarters
and register his name, home number and
voting precinct. They will thus be able to
show how many Of their votes, il any,
were thrown out. They have also sent
agents to the border counties to investigate
the alleged frauds in that section. The large
vote in favor of the amendment has badly
frightened the liquor dealers, and in some
towns they are pledging themselves to con-
duct their saloons little more decently and
to pay little more heed to public sentiment.
In Marquette, for instance, forty of them
have notified the mayor that they will shut
up all day Sunday and on week days after 10
O'Clock at night.
